Jack Wilson

Jack Wilson was an American shooting range owner and volunteer security guard at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas (near Fort Worth). He owned the On-Target Firearms Academy and trained several members of the local community in self-defense, and he was later hired as the head of security at the local church. On 29 December 2019, when the 43-year-old Keith Kinnunen entered the church and shot two parishioners dead, Wilson quickly reacted and neutralized the assailant with a concealed firearm. Wilson was hailed as a hero for his actions, and gun rights advocates used his quick response to the shooter as evidence in favor of the benefits of concealed carry laws. Wilson was also active in politics, and he was a staunch supporter of Donald Trump. At the time of the shooting, he was running for county commissioner in Hood County as a Republican.
